The winners will be announced in Lisbon on July 7 2007. The list now includes such magnificent sights as St Basils Cathedral, Alhambra, Stonehenge, Eiffel Tower, Statue of Liberty, Sydney Opera House, Great Wall, Petra, Angkor Wat, Christ the Redeemer, Machu Picchu, Chitchen Itza, Kiyomizu Temple Japan, Hagia Sophia, Acropolis, Timbuktu, Pyramids of Giza, Easter Island, Colosseum, Neuschwanstein and the Taj Mahal. How difficult to choose? I for one would vote for numerous like the Alhambra because I have visited them but if you haven't it is so difficult. The website if you want to vote is http://www.new7wonders.com but I would like to get the discussion going here to see what we all think?

Still an interesting topic. Cheers, Kerrie --- Where to next? Reply    Reply with quote    Contact downundergal
